[couscouswoman]

The woman who is singing is called Nabila Maan. She is Moroccan. She is singing a song by Nass El Ghiwane called Allah Ya Moulana. You can see her singing if you type Allah Ya Moulana in Youtube search window.

They are both of half Lebanese heritage.

[atila1985]

Ok! I've looked for it. You're right. But in the same way I'm a german boy because my grandma's grandpa was from Germany. (I'm spanish). They are arab mixed blood. Wow, it's a controversial topic. See ya my friends!!

[larustik]

[yrouass]

[Malcolm32agadir]

yak a couscous woman , ola am i wrong ? good luck ;-) lol

[Malcolm32agadir]

the singer name is nabila maane , moroccan young singer ,she has a big talent and nice soprano voice !!tbark lah

[Elias1D]

Nawal el zoghbi is not an achiever, she is just a performer, and if you are part of her fan group i will just say a singer!

such as some other who exist in the video but are not achievers... they are just lucky...

anyways that is debatable, and i just wanted to thank you for the video, the song, and instead of adding nawal just add names of the women or what they have achieved :) thanks.

[couscouswoman]

The names of the women are on the top right side of this screen where it says About This Video.

[Elias1D]

just found it after a while... guys you have to click on more info in the vid. more info.

[InTheSouthLand]

I don't know Nawal el Zoghbi so not a fan or anything, but have to say if you achieve any fame or success at something then you have indeed achieved something.Sure luck sometimes plays a big part,but so what?That doesn't mean no striving or achievement is involved.If you're not out there trying in the first place luck isn't gonna do you much good.

[Elias1D]

I do agree with you :)

but I just thought that we do have women who have achieved more, and instead of luck they used wisdome and power to change the course of history, art and who left imprints throughout the history of Arabia :)

(I can also probably argue and say that maybe najwa karam should be instead of zoughti since najwa is the sole representative of a lebanese song, while nawal is a singer/performer)

PS: not knowing is not an excuse :) just look names up in utube and u will know :)

[InTheSouthLand]

Oh yeah I was gonna look her up and find out more about her,but I think that's kinda irrelevant to my point.My point was that,in a literal sense,a successfull performer/celebrity has indeed achieved something.But I also understand where you're coming from now:although you could argue Britney Spears has achieved fame and fortune,she certainly hasn't had the cultural or inspirational impact of a Mother Theresa or Susan B. Anthony.

[je032288]

where is NAWAL AL ZOGHBI?

[couscouswoman]

I will add Nawal Al Zoghbi in the next video.

Have a great day.

[mishighlak]

Merci!

[mishighlak]

nice video!! What's the name of the song?

[couscouswoman]

Name of the song: Allah Ya Moulana. It is sung here by Moroccan Nabila Maan. The song originally sung by a Moroccan band called: Nass El Ghiwane. Thank you for your comments.
